Love the way the story’s progressing.
I have a feeling Alex is due for a waking-world break (man he must get tired swapping between worlds without any real break!)
Dan: Hey! Why you so tired? You just took a long nap!
Alex: Nap nothing! I just spent the whole time trying to learn to fly and having Nastajia chew me out!
Dan: ….

Here’s my first 5 picks for next wallpaper character:
1. Nastajia in her new outfit
2. Kiwi
3. Felicity (gotta get the gals in there first! :D)
4. Alex
5. Nicodemus

Hi. I suppose I’m a new reader (about a month ago) and I remember finding this through a link on another webcomic. I think that’s a very effective way to get to new readers. I’d also suggest maybe adding an about page? This story is already pretty long and before I started reading I doubted doing so because I had no idea what it was about and if I’d be likely to like the story. (I’m glad I checked it out after all)

As for wallpapers, I second Mifememo. I love drawn wallpapers. If that’s too much work, though, maybe a background that isn’t black, for variety?

Overall I have enjoyed the new arc I was wondering when someone was going to give him a dose of reality….. which is kind of a funny concept concidering they are in dreamland… oh and when i first read that last line i missed the comma and thought they were calling him princess alexander T_T

I’m thinking of some kind of group shot actually – the main cast in the front with the rest to either side receding into the background with maybe Nicodemus in the far distance winging in…

Or maybe one with Alex centered between his friends/landscape in the waking world on one side, and his friends/landscape in Dreamland on the other – and his clothing sort of half and half, blurred roughly down the center. (You’d probably have to do it in Photoshop).

Meanwhile, today’s page is wonderful too; almost no action, almost no dialog – but still very affecting and effective.

Anyway for desktops:
Nastajia in her temp outfit
Nastajia in her normal outfit, (almost) full body shot in a nice background like Ashendel (Sorry but these chest-up portraits are always a bit to up-close for me…)
A rework of the second or third panel above might make a nice desktop too

And it’d be nice to be able to get them in wide-screen format as well… 😉

Am I the only one who thought of the Zelda animated series when reading the sentence “Excuse me, Princess.”? Or maybe I’m just biased.

I really like the expression no Alex’s face in the first panel (and that even though I said I’d prefer a non-angsty Alex, how odd…). I also like the whole atmosphere and feel of this page. So serene and almost cathartic compared to the rough ride on the last few pages.

As for the vote: I would love to see a full body version of Nastajia in her current outfit in front of a nighttime centaur village. Or something like that. And I agree with Mifememo and Zilen – a 2D art wallpaper would also be nice. I can’t see if there is a poll or not – maybe one of my ad blockers is blocking it.

Also: Maybe Dreamland/Earth Alex slash desktop would be nice, you know on one side there’s Alexander hanging for his life on the falling zeppelin and on the other side he’s sleeping in a weird pose snorting, or something like that.

I think a nice desktop would be a “family photo” type picture of Alex, his brother, and their mom. It could be from either “present” time, when the boys are grown, or from the flashback time, when they were still young.

Great page, today! Feels good when the characters have these quiet times, ‘takes note’. Isn’t it true that these “awwwwww” moments are usually interrupted by business in most epic tales… Great transitioning.

Oh, and hey! Both of my comics finally made it in the top 100! ‘pats self on back’.

> A desktop I would be interested in is a background scene of one of the major cities. Iâ€™m always impressed with the quality of those.

Ditto! Not an aerial shot or a general view of a city; Just a good close-up inside the actual city (of your choice), unpoluted with main characters 😉 It’s not that I don’t like them, but we get to look at them every page already!

New reader here (procrastinating heavily from tests: I have just read the entire archive). Awesome comic. Normally I don’t really like 3D comics, but yours has a lot of detail in it, and very good expressions. But mainly I really like the story.
I got here through the top webcomics list, so yeah, it’s working 😛
About the wallpaper: I don’t really mind, as long as you make a 1680×1050 wallpaper… Most wallpapers of webcomics are so small… think of us people with too many pixels too! I clicked your ads, and voted 🙂

I just voted, and I admit, I loooove the pic I got(I may just import it to my psp as well as my desktop). Keep voting people, and next might be Alex, Paddington, Kiwi, or even Felicia!(Depending on the votes)

Nice wallpaper (and nice page, as always)! I don’t comment much, so even though she’s been wearing it for the past couple weeks, I need to tell you how much I adore Nastajia’s current look. Usually I spend more time staring at the more interesting but less classically-beautiful characters in a comic (Claudius from Xylia Tales has the best nose ever), but I cannot stop marvelling at how stunning she is in every panel.

Do you know what I would give to have hair like that?! 😉

Anywho, thanks for the wonderful comic, and I request a Nicole/Felicity hangin’ out wallpaper for one of your future endeavours. Or a Daniel/Nicole not-quite-romantic one. Whichever. 😀
